Your Primary was ‘The Retriever’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Beaver’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

Beaver- Organized. Beavers think that there is a right way to do everything and they want to do it exactly that way. Beaver personalities are very creative. They desire to solve everything. Desire to take their time and do it right. Beavers do not like sudden changes. They need reassurance.

Strength: High standards, order, respect
Weakness: Unrealistic expectations of self & others, too perfect.
Limitation: Seeing the optimistic side of things, expressing flexibility

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I’ve always believed in God and received salvation at the age of 10 because I thought it was the right thing to do. I rededicated my life to Christ after a brief encounter with the “real world” where I quickly realized that I couldn’t do life alone–I needed help and guidance from God. I had sunken to a place of depression and contemplated suicide many times, to the point where I stood in my parents’ kitchen and put a knife to my wrist because I wanted my life to end.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

Set the Captives Free Outreach Center–I’ve been a member for 10 years and in that time I have served as youth leader, young adult leader, chaplain of young adult ministry; currently a deacon and in MIT class

New Imani Community Church–served as a young adult leader

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

Being rejected by family

The death of a family friend in a car accident

Being removed from undergrad due to education negligence
